    The Story

    Robert describes David as alive, excited and vibrant and these are the qualities that initially attract him. He is additionally attracted to the contrast between David's submissive nature and willingness to stick up for himself. Jaded doesn't apply to David as much as it could to Robert. As you say, he is an imposing presence. and he is used to getting his way despite his self-described rough appearance. Ultimately, I think he responds to David's insecurity and need to be loved by someone authoritative because it strikes an essential desire he didn't know he had. Robert wants to be needed.

    The Story

    There was deliberate effort made to let readers come to some conclusions on their own without spelling everything out. You've captured one of the bigger facets well. Thank you for reading and reviewing, Mann.

    It is nice to see that I was able to capture some of the elements I was reaching for. Thank you for reading and reviewing, Cole.

    The Story

    One young man stood out from among the group, excited and animated. He threw his hands about as he talked and smiled, and laughed among his friends. I wondered if his liveliness extended into the bedroom. The thought had barely passed through my mind when he turned and surveyed the room. His gaze caught mine and went no further, imprisoning me with an intensity I had never experienced. It acquainted me with the impression that he was rooting around in my head. I attempted to repay the impact, bu
  8. Robert, a man who recently turned forty, meets a much younger man in a dive bar and in an unusual way. Not one for romance, never been in love, but he is convinced that there is something different about David. Different enough to want to know him instead of taking him straight home to bed.
  9. I remove my former opinions. I was too mesmerized by his behavior to pay attention to the time stamp jumps that Graeme has so smartly pointed out. I couldn't make it through two-minutes, let alone four-and-one-half hours of it, so judgement reserved.
  10. I do love a HEA tale, but I appreciate them equally when I am left to my own thoughts. This is a well crafted story throughout and just ambiguous enough at the end, that it allows for different interpretations. When done well, and the ending is well done, it is a beautiful thing.

    Chapter 1

    Marvelous, and a gem of a tale. I noted how you worked 'Once upon a time' into the story, playful and fun, among the more serious elements. As much as I am aware that you say there was a HEA, and I would like to believe you, the ending of the story seems a great tragedy to me.
  12. Ah, but the one in my grill was also the one on my table, and in my freezer. True, it was an inconvenience, at first, but something good came from the collision; I did not have to go traipsing throughout the woods to beat my father to a first deer kill.

    You're wonderful for the review, Slytherin. I'm very happy that you liked my tale. Thanks you.
  14. I suppose that is a good thing. Gainfully employed and busy is important nowadays and a much better option than the B side. Although, I suppose a break here and there might be welcome. I do look forward to your finding the time to pursue 'Case Black' once again.
  15. I love a good sci-fi romp. An another note, and not to get on your case, James, but...
  16. Welcome to GA, Benedicte.

    It is a hard row to hoe when our animal friends become grievously ill. I think you managed to capture the anxiety and fear that attends such a misfortune. I liked your story.

    Thank you for saying so, it makes me feel good, and thank you for the review, Countess.

    Prompt 303

    Your are welcome and it was my great pleasure to post this story. Young boys can make a game out of anything with a little imagination and writing about Tommy and the bees brought out the little boy in me. It felt right to end the tale when I did. Thank you for your review, Aditus.
